Saint Benedict Press, LLC (SBP), a division of Goodwill Publishers, is a publisher founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, in 2006.
History
The Saint Benedict Press Classics line began in 2006, starting with public domain classic Catholic titles as a direct competitor for TAN Books and Publishers. Catechims of the Council of Trent, The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ four volume set, Come Rack, Come Rope, Dark Night of the Soul, Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena, Way of Divine Life and the Rule of Saint Benedict were among the first titles produced. In addition to the public domain titles, SBP published four versions of the New American Bible.
In 2008, TAN Books and Publishers was acquired out of bankruptcy by SBP[1] In July 2009, TAN Books relocated from Rockford, Illinois, to a new facility in Charlotte.
Since the acquisition of TAN Books, Saint Benedict Press has focused a significant portion of its product line on books written by living authors. Critics from different philosophies have given positive responses to the new works. The progressive Catholic publication National Catholic Reporter said the book The Abbess of Andalusia provided insight to Flannery O'Connor's Catholicism.[2] National Review gave positive reviews to both the Essential Belloc[3] (co-edited by the Opus Dei priest C. John McCloskey) and The Mystery of Predestination.[4] Inside Catholic discussed the evidence of Purgatory presented in the book Hungry Souls.[5]
Saint Benedict Press became the only Catholic publishers to simultaneously sell the Douay-Rheims, Catholic Revised Standard Version, and New American Bibles in 2010.[6]
